Corn is King
Well call me corn or you can call me maize
I’ve become a part of human ways.
Both on my own and with my buddy soy
Most of the place we can enjoy.
Yes we couldn’t get much more of the planet
If my buddy soy and I just ran it.
Yes the humans think they’re in charge of it all
But they jump when I say and they come when I call.
Well I’m the one for whom they cleared the fields
and they kill off my enemies to boost my yields.
They feed me food to make me grow
until I’m pretty enough to show.
They put me in all kinds of food they eat
They just love corn syrup – it is so sweet.
An emulsifier – a thickening goop
The humans put me in their soup.
No matter if they have to use fossil fuel
Whatever is good for corn is the rule.
Oh, thank you for cutting down the woods.
Thanks for using me in so many goods.
You humans think you’re on top it’s true
But corn has really colonized you!
